No matter if you walk the path of European Magick, traditional Asatru, oriental Buddhism or modern Reiki, there are some things all people have in common – one of these things is your psychic intuition. While the word “psychic” might seem to be a bit too
“new age”, the truth is that every person has something we call
“intuition”. This intuition of yours is a very important tool in magick and spiritual development because it's your guide, your inner voice that keeps you save and helps you achieve your goals – sometimes, even without true magick. Some people say that intuition is your sixth sense. Others believe it's your higher self, a
part of a universal “God-mind” that speaks to you. Others believe it's your spirit guide, and some people believe that intuition is a word of spirits that give you advises. The truth is – we do not know what intuition is for sure. But we know it exists, it happens, and it works.
What is intuition? It's your ability to “sense and know things”
based on your “heart”, not “logic”. You just know something is better, or something is wrong. You know that you forgot about something, or you know that some practice isn't the right practice for you. You go for a spiritual workshop, and you know that this particular teacher is right for you, or no. And there is no logical way to help you understand why is it that you know these things.
And you should trust these inner feelings.
You feel them all the time – the point is to listen to them, and act according to your intuitive feelings. If you feel that something is right for you – do it. If you feel something isn't right for you, do not do it. It's that simple. Of course, sometimes you feel that something is wrong about a person or a workshop for a reason – because you have fears or traumas from the past experiences. How to distinguish your intuition from your fears? Simple, by your logical thinking. If you feel something, try to find logical reasons why you feel this way, or why you “know” something is or isn't right. If there are logical reasons – your memories, beliefs or fears, then it's not the intuition, it's your logical mind. But if there are no logical reasons behind your feelings and “knowing”, then it's intuition. And intuition is meant to be trusted.
There are few universal ways that might help you develop your intuition – an ability that is quite useful because it helps you decide: whether this spirit or teacher is trustworthy; whether this book is worth reading; whether this practice is safe; whether you are ready to begin a new path and such. For example, you may start a notebook, and whatever you do, perform the following exercise: ask your intuition what should you do, and await intuitive answers, which may come as: a vision, a memory-like sight, an inner sound or music, or just an inner voice. Or you may feel something in your heart, or you may simple know things. Then
write down your feelings in the notebook and make a decision.
Write down the decision – note if it's based on the feelings, or it's based on your logical thinking. After some time – hours, days, weeks – the results of your decision will be clear to you. The results might be positive, neutral or negative. Now go back to your notebook and read over your notes regarding this particular decision. Analyze your feelings and your decision, because based on this, over time you will learn which feelings are generated by your intuition, a which feelings are generated by your fears and logical mind. Generally, positive results driven by intuitive feelings are a lesson that you've heard your intuition. Next time, you will be more experienced, and you will know what to seek in your feelings – over time, you'll be able to distinct between intuition and your logical mind. This will help you in the future.
Generally, the practice of meditation that is focused on clearing the mind and creating a state of peace, such practice is a gateway to intuition. If the mind is silent and at peace, it is governed by no fears or troubles. This way, your intuitive feelings and information have a clear way to your conscious mind. In a meditative state of mind, it's much easier to communicate with your intuition.
Basically, each and every magical and spiritual tradition has some form of meditation. Because meditation is a state of mind, not a specific Hindu-related pose. Thus, you should learn what are the techniques of clearing your mind and putting it at peace, and the practice of such techniques will help you develop your intuition.
Whenever you try something new, or you think about buying a new book, or trying some new workshop, ask yourself if it's right for you, and await intuitive answers. They will guide you, and they will make sure that whatever you do, is right and good for you.
And with these words, we can finally move to another chapter of this book and discuss the fascinating nature of our reality and multiple layers of existence.
